I never watched The Good Wife, nor The Good Wife. We have CBS AA. Could we start watching season 1 and know where we are and enjoy it? Yeah, that’s subjective, but I welcome opinions.
You'll get more out of it if you've seen "The Good Wife", but they're very different shows. Only two main characters and one fan favorite recurring character crossed over to the new series -- which takes place at a completely different law firm. So if you start with the pilot for "The Good Fight" you should be alright.I never watched The Good Wife, nor The Good Wife. We have CBS AA.

Ohhh. I think you just pushed me over the edge to watch the GF.I'm binging The Good Fight now. It's a wild ride that I'm enjoying immensely. Love the Trump pee-pee tape episide.
First, I know the show has been using the F-Bomb since the very first episode with Diane watching the inauguration, but this season they seemed to go overboard with its use, multiple times in each episode to the point where it's annoying. These are educated, sophisticated people who should be able to find other expletives to express their dismay or to emphasize points.
Yes, I remember that and we had watched all there was. It seemed lime Matt was saying there were now more episodes.Season Four came crashing to a halt during Covid, Johnny. They had to pull the plug on production.
No, I just said I had watched season four which was, if you recall, seven episodes. I'm assuming the season was meant to be ten episodes, but I've never read for sure if they were going for eight, nine, or ten.Yes, I remember that and we had watched all there was.

Thanks for schooling me. I had no idea this was the case.I'm a lawyer at a large international law firm. Almost everyone at my shop swears like sailors. For some files, on some days, it's like breathing...
The show is definitely way more surreal than "The Good Wife", and that show had plenty of surreal moments of its own. But then, the world is more surreal than when "The Good Wife" was made, so I guess this show is just following reality down the rabbit hole.Is it just me or the series getting weirder as the seasons roll by. I like that the GF can tackle subjects that a broadcast series can. But it’s getting weird. With Season 4, it’s almost like there’s a new show runner. First we get a dream episode and then we get a huge change is circumstances for the firm.
Yes, there is a lot up in the air heading into Season 5. I actually do think that the firm acquisition storyline and Julius Cain's storyline ended at good places for a season finale; whatever happens next in both storylines will be radically changed by the developments in this episode.The truncated season didn't allow us to have any wrap ups with the John Larouquette firm overriding story arc, Cush Jumbo's million dollar windfall, or Delroy Lindo's presidential ambitions, the latter two of which should have allowed them to write them gracefully out of the series since they didn't resign for season five of the show. We also got no closure on Memo 618.
Yes, the fact that -- after all of the various breadcrumbs leading in various bizarre directions got them no closer to determining whether Epstein was murdered or committed suicide -- the reveal of the truth behind "BUD" being so absolutely absurd felt right somehow. And given Epstein's obsession with legacy (or at least the fictionalized Epstein of the show), the truth about BUD might actually make suicide more likely.I did love the mystery surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's cryptic clues and afterlife that served as the season finale. Great final reveal of BUD.
Apparently they were four days into production on the eighth episode when production was halted. Three scenes shot for episode eight -- including Julius's arrest -- that were originally shot for the eighth episode were edited into the seventh episode to help it better serve as a season finale.Season Four came crashing to a halt during Covid, Johnny. They had to pull the plug on production.
When CBSViacom announced the fifth season, they confirmed that the fourth season was originally slated to have ten episodes before the pandemic shut everything down. Certain storylines, like Memo 618, are being expanded to continue across the upcoming season.No, I just said I had watched season four which was, if you recall, seven episodes. I'm assuming the season was meant to be ten episodes, but I've never read for sure if they were going for eight, nine, or ten.
